“And immune to magic.” Grace studied the outline. “Sherri hit it hard. Anything but a Dire Wolf would have burned like a torch.”

Arthur crouched to breathe in deeply, using his acute vampire sense of smell. “The creature was in dog form when she attacked Sam. Then she transformed to Dire Wolf to attack the Maja.” He rubbed his knuckles thoughtfully over his bearded jaw.

“Jenny,” Logan snarled. “She was the fucking K-9 all along.”

Gwen fisted her hands on her hips. “Why didn’t Smoke realize the Dire Wolf was the dog, not Sam?” Lancelot shrugged his broad shoulders. “The mortal handled the animal so often, its scent was all over her. And hers was on it.”

“Smoke wasn’t the only one the Dire Wolf fooled.” Giada looked down at the bodies, feeling battered by her own profound failure. “I didn’t sense it either. Why the heck did Merlin give these werewolves so much power?”

“When he visited during the Dragon War, he told me he’d feared the Magekind would misuse their abilities and begin abusing mankind.” Arthur rose to his feet again, his expression weary. “Apparently it had happened before with some of the other guardians Merlin’s people created on other planets.”

“But if they watch us, who watches them?” Giada asked.

“They’re supposed to police themselves, apparently.”

“Yeah, well, they’re doing a piss-poor job,” Logan growled. His armored glove creaked as he curled one hand into a fist. “So are we going to call them in on this or what?”

“I already contacted the man they named as their ambassador. Devon said they would look into it.” Arthur frowned, brushing his thumb over his lower lip.

“Devon?” Lance looked up sharply. “The same Devon who was the father of that fucking Dire Wolf serial killer?”

“That’s the one.” Arthur shook his head. “I talked to the head of their council about the man, but he cut me off at the knees. Informed me George Devon is one of their aristocracy, the Chosen. He swears Devon’s from an ancient family, completely beyond reproach.”

“Wait—Dire Wolf serial killer?” Caroline looked at Lancelot. “The one who killed Kat’s sister? He had an odd name—Trey or Tip or something.”

“That’s the one.” Lancelot nodded. “His real name was George Devon III, which is where the Trey came from.”

Giada remembered the story all too well. Trey had been torturing and killing blond mortal women for years. One of his victims was the half sister of Lance’s daughter, Kat. When Kat became a Maja, she tracked Trey down, just in time to prevent another murder. It took Kat, Lancelot, and Kat’s lover, Ridge, to save the girl and kill the Dire Wolf.

Arthur’s eyes narrowed in calculation. “As I recall, Trey’s father, George Devon Jr., was not particularly pleased when we informed him his son was dead.”

Logan met his gaze and knew they were thinking the same thing. “ ‘Not pleased’ enough to seek revenge?”

“He made all the appropriate noises of horror and contrition, but I could smell his rage.” Arthur rubbed a hand over his bearded chin.
